<hr />
<p>There is a massive growth opportunity in the realm of competitive video gaming, known as esports, and it could make some well-heeled tech companies even richer.</p>
<p>Esports has a large and engaged following that is under-monetized,&nbsp;Todd Juenger, a Bernstein analyst, said. He believes this&nbsp;could present an attractive revenue opportunity for companies and investors alike.</p>
<p>In the US alone, esports viewership already outnumbers NHL viewers, and its projected to surpass the number of MLB viewers by 2020, Juenger says.&nbsp;Globally, esports draws an active viewership of 143 million, and that number shoots up to 307 million if you count occasional viewers. Juenger expects that number to explode to 250 million active viewers and over half a billion occasional viewers by 2021.</p>
<div title="Page 3">
<p>With the rising popularity of esports, some companies are jumping on the bandwagon to appeal to this large and growing segment, Juenger says.</p>
<p>Here are five companies that will likely reap massive profits from the overlooked sport:</p>
<h2><strong>Activision</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Ticker</strong>: <a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/atvi-stock">ATVI</a></p>
<p><strong>Esports' Impact</strong>: <a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/atvi-stock">Activision Blizzard</a> is one of the biggest beneficiaries of the esports boom thanks to the success of its recently-launched Overwatch League, a professional esports league for the widely popular video game "Overwatch." The league's ascendance has helped catapult the esports category into the mainstream.</p>
<p>There is significant potential to generate revenues and profits from the league via sponsorships, advertising, and media rights, Juenger says. He believes the league's continued success would deliver "many multiples" of cash flow in the long run.</p>
<div title="Page 2">

<div>
<p><span>"Overwatch League represents a rare opportunity for public market investors to become equity owners in a professional sports league, at an early stage," Juenger wrote.</span></p>

<h2><strong>Electronic Arts</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Ticker</strong>: <a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/ea-stock">EA</a></p>
<p><strong>Esports' Impact</strong>: <a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/ea-stock">Electronic Arts</a> will likely see the reward from its esports play "over time," as Juenger describes the gaming company's esports approach as more "grassroots." There will be an "incremental monetization opportunity over time," he said, as EA leverages its partnerships with sports leagues, such as FIFA, and TV networks, like Disney, to mutually promote and engage audiences at sports events, as well as their respective video games.</p>

<h2><strong>Nvidia</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Ticker</strong>: <a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/nvda-stock">NVDA</a></p>
<p><strong>Esports' Impact</strong>: While the cryptocurrency rush has propped up the chipmaker's shares, gaming still makes up over 50% of <a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/nvda-stock">Nvidia</a>'s business. That business has grown 33% over the past few years, Juenger notes. There are some long-term, secular trends that are driving the gaming market and demand for the highly sought-after chips will not dissipate soon, he says.</p>
<div title="Page 2">
<div>
<div>
<p><span>"We see the engagement levels around this trend as having the potential to both bring new users into the installed base, particularly new users that are young and of relatively high income," Juenger wrote.</span></p>

<h2><strong>Microsoft</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Ticker</strong>: <a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/msft-stock">MSFT</a></p>
<p><strong>Esports' Impact</strong>: <a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/msft-stock">Microsoft</a> has seen gaming and "mixed reality" &mdash; which blends virtual reality with real life &mdash; as one of its growth opportunities. The tech company is making a play on the esports market through a combination of acquisitions, such as Beam and PlayFab, as well as internal "organic" development.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The company has built esports studios within its physical stores and has run its own esports competitions. With the use of its Azure cloud platform, gaming software and hardware, and mixed reality push, it can be a "major player in the market," Juenger says.</p>
<p>The company's planned Mixed Reality Headsets should also serve as a catalyst for Microsoft's Windows platform and Xbox businesses while also driving revenue and profits.</p>

<h2><strong>Sony</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Ticker</strong>: <a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/sne-stock">SNE</a></p>
<p><strong>Esports' Impact</strong>: <a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/sne-stock">Sony</a>'s PlayStation 4 has some of the biggest esports names, such as Street Fighter V and Gran Turismo Sport. The company is making a hard pivot toward esports by partnering with competitive-gaming event producer ESL and launching its own PlayStation tournaments.</p>
<p>Juenger sees an opportunity for Sony to synergize its TV channel, new programs, and PlayStation Vue around esports.</p>

<p>Engineers from both companies will work together to integrate Nvidia's Xavier DRIVE system-on-a-chip, its DRIVE operating system (OS), and DRIVE software stack with Continental's ASIL-D security certification, and radar, camera, and LiDAR sensor suite to build an autonomous driving solution. Continental hopes to have this platform ready for market by 2021.</p>
<p>The deal should give a valuable boost to Continental's gradual approach to building autonomous technologies.&nbsp;The company makes various automated braking, driver-assist, and drivetrain solutions that it's trying to leverage to build automated driving technologies.

<p>Additionally, Continental can tap into Nvidia's ongoing development and testing of other self-driving systems on public roads to make its own system more advanced over time.

<li><strong>Cryptocurrency miners are buying up all the high-end graphics cards usually reserved for PC gaming.</strong></li>
<li><strong>As a result, the graphics cards are extremely difficult to find. Some are being sold for double or more their original price.</strong></li>
<li><strong>The dearth of available graphics cards has become a meme among PC gaming enthusiasts.</strong></li>

<hr>
<p><br>It's a terrible time to build a gaming PC.</p>
<p>The process of building one is actually easier than its ever been, and playing video games on a PC is a delight. The problem is that graphics cards (GPUs) — the crucial component that powers the visuals of a PC — are in <em>extremely</em> high demand, which makes them difficult to find at their intended prices. Many resellers are jacking up the price by double or more.</p>
<p>The demand, however, isn't due to a massive influx of new PC gaming enthusiasts. The demand is being driven by cryptocurrency mining.</p>
<p><img src="http://static4.businessinsider.com/image/5a27fdda3dbef4460e8ba3fa-2048/14266642578ca649b180dk.jpg" alt="bitcoin mining supercomputers" data-mce-source="Marko Ahtisaari/Flickr" data-link="https://www.flickr.com/photos/moia/14266642578/in/photolist-nJGgNb-ZL62PW-QXLts6-QVdAg3-QXLRUk-dqRE9e-DSoVkq-DSrAB7-DU3dYS-edhswK-21Xq1pY-hFwJsC-ZDQstx-ZUTF2w-ZDQmP6-ZUU2fs-H6kARB-21XpUtE-DU3fof-DSn1A9-DU3hpj-RY9AEE-S98Sr5-edhu7Z-ZM8x7m-ZDQqm6-CoqCPa-ZUUXfb-CoqCmg-ZUTJMh-fKssoo-222WEjk-21XpTL7-H4EsvT-H4EjdR-22b9bWJ-edo3nm-221hn4F-H4EDuB-222WBY8-H4Eboc-fyyS9h-hR2PDr-21XpQkj-ZDQ8uR-ZDPYNc-DSmC33-fbgifv-21dvC1z-jBbHjf"></p>
<p>Though the graphics cards from companies like Nvidia and AMD are capable of powering cutting-edge gaming visuals, they're also capable of mining cryptocurrency. More than just capable, they're one of the <em>main tools</em> used by cryptocurrency miners.</p>
<p>As such, they're sold out pretty much everywhere. </p>
<p>A quick check of retail websites from Amazon to Best Buy to Newegg reveals the same thing: Back-order options, or sold-out signs, or re-sellers with huge mark-ups.</p>
<p>Nvidia's flagship GPU, the GTX 1080 Ti, has a suggested retail price of $700.</p>
<p>The lowest price for one on Amazon starts around $1,100:</p>

<p>As such, PC gaming communities on Reddit are <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/7qj8eu/gpu_shelves_fully_stocked_at_my_local_frys/">full of jokes</a> about how hard it is to find a graphics card for a decent price. There's even <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/7pjbus/video_card_prices_and_cryptocurrency_mining_v2/">a major thread dedicated to explaining the high prices of graphics cards</a> — it's given prominent placement at the top of <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/">the "Build a PC" subreddit</a>.</p>
<p>And then there are anecdotes like this one, from an Ethereum-mining Facebook group:</p>
<div>
<blockquote class="imgur-embed-pub" lang="en" data-id="JsX8UsX"><a href="//imgur.com/JsX8UsX">This is why gamers hate miners so much...</a></blockquote>
<script async src="//s.imgur.com/min/embed.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div>
<p>Both Nvidia and AMD declined to comment for this story.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.computerbase.de/2018-01/nvidia-geforce-gtx-verkauf-an-spieler/">German website Computer Base</a> got in touch with Nvidia Germany public-relations manager Boris Böhles, who told the publication that Nvidia is actively encouraging retailers to "make the appropriate arrangements" so that graphics cards are available for the intended consumer.</p>
<p>Nvidia can't force its manufacturing partners to limit their sales, nor its retail partners to do the same. It's a problem of supply and demand.</p>
<p>The problem, of course, is that cryptocurrency mining is more popular than ever.</p>
<p>And as more people discover the concept, more people need hardware to power their new hobby. Without a swift increase in supply from graphics-card makers like Nvidia, AMD, Asus, and others, it's unlikely that this problem is going away anytime soon.</p><p><strong>SEE ALSO:&nbsp;<a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/currencies/news/bitcoin-amd-nvidia-crypto-boom-is-over-mizuho-says-2017-11-1009813614" >MIZUHO: AMD and Nvidia's crypto boom is officially over</a></strong></p>

<hr />
<p><br />LAS VEGAS &mdash; Nvidia could have a big hit on its hands with some big new gaming monitors.</p>
<p>Developed in conjunction with HP, Asus, and Acer and unveiled at the CES trade show here this week, the <a href="https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-supersizes-pc-gaming-with-new-breed-of-big-format-gaming-displays">new monitors</a> will offer 65-inch scree ens, 4K ultra-high definition resolution with high-dynamic range (HDR), Nvidia's Shield media player and game system built-in, and some key features designed to specifically appeal to PC gamers.</p>
<p>I got to check out the massive monitors at Nvidia's booth. As a PC gamer myself, I walked away from the experience feeling like my fancy 34-inch ultrawide gaming monitor at home that I was previously so proud of was actually small, pitiful, and completely inadequate.</p>
<h2>These monitors offer an unbelievable gaming experience</h2>
<p>The monitors, which Nvidia dubs BFGDs for big format gaming displays, include three notable gaming features: a fast 120-hertz refresh rate that promises smooth gameplay; Nvidia's G-Sync technology, which synchronizes the monitor's refresh rate and that of the games you're playing; and ultra-low latency, so that what you do on your controller, keyboard, or mouse is reflected nearly instantaneously on the screen.</p>
<p>The monitors' combination of giant screens and these features makes for an impressive experience. With the smooth gameplay they offer and their incredible responsiveness, the monitors perform just like the best standard gaming displays. But their large size allows them to offer a cinematic feel.</p>
<p>And what they display is really amazing. Thanks to their support for HDR, colors pop. Meanwhile, images actually appear to be sharper than 4K. Because everything on their screens is bigger, you can see more detail than you could on smaller monitors with the same resolution. The game I demoed on one of the monitors &mdash; "Destiny 2" &mdash; looked beautiful.</p>
<p>Any gamer who tried out one of these monitors would be thrilled with the experience and would want one immediately.</p>
<p>That is, if he or she can first figure out where to put it.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>But don't expect one to replace your desktop monitor</h2>
<p>Simply put, a 65-inch monitor can't fit on your average computer desk. Even if you could get it to work on your particular desk, it would almost certainly be a bad experience. You'd likely be sitting so close to such a large screen that you'd end up seeing less than you would with a standard, smaller monitor.</p>
<p>To be able to keep track of everything happening on all areas of the screen on one of these jumbo monitors, you'd have to shift your eyes and even move your head around a lot &mdash; things no gamer wants to do, particularly during long and intense gaming sessions or when it's important to react quickly to on-screen action. </p>
<p>Instead of sitting on a desk right in front of a user, the BFGDs are designed to be viewed at a distance. They're ideal for gamers who prefer to play in their living rooms from the comfort of their couches.</p>
<p>In fact, the new monitors could potentially replace your living room TV. They offer a picture quality that's just as good as a top LCD television. And thanks to their built-in Shield, which supports many common entertainment apps, you can easily stream videos or music to them.</p>
<p>The only people for whom the BFGD monitors wouldn't represent a good replacement or upgrade over their current TVs are those with OLED televisions in their living rooms. The Nvidia monitors' LCD displays don't quite match up to the gorgeous pictures offered by those pricey sets. </p>
<p>But you don't necessarily have to put one of these monitors on an entertainment console in your living room. You could actually place them a few feet behind your desk, like this:</p>
<p><img src="http://static1.businessinsider.com/image/5a55a9f725954c08148b4651-1200/img20180109161715.jpg" alt="nvidia 65-inch monitor" data-mce-source="Antonio Villas-Boas/Business Insider" /></p>
<h2>The price of these jumbo displays could be similarly huge</h2>
<p>Of course, even if you're a big-time gamer who's super-excited playing PC games in your living room, you may not want to run out and get one of these new monitors as soon as they hit the market, which is expected to happen sometime this summer. The main reason: They're bound to be expensive.</p>
<p>Nvidia and it's partners haven't announced prices for yet, but you get a rough idea of what they might cost by looking at the price of somewhat comparable devices. You can get a fantastic 65-inch 4K HDR TV for less than $850 &ndash; the price of a smartphone these days. But the features that will be built into the BFGDs, including G-Sync, will likely add hundreds of dollars to that price.</p>
<p>Likewise, 4K gaming monitors with features similar to the BFGDs, but with screens of around 30 inches or so, can cost more than $800. Ones with much bigger screens will likely be dramatically more expensive. We'll have to wait and see.</p>
<p>Still, these BFGD monitors aren't designed for casual gamers. They're intended for the kinds of enthusiasts who already have a $1,500 gaming PC that's capable of displaying games at 4K resolutions at high frame rates, and who are willing to spend an extra large chunk of cash on a display that will take full advantage of such capabilities.</p>
<p>For myself, I'd love to have one of Nvidia's giant gaming monitors in my living room &mdash; or perhaps set far back on my desk. But the price has to be right.</p><p><strong>SEE ALSO:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/samsung-the-wall-micro-led-modular-146-inch-tv-photos-2018-1" >Samsung's new 146-inch TV called 'The Wall' can change sizes</a></strong></p>

<p>No matter how good your PC gaming monitor is, it's not as large or vibrant or capable as the insanely massive new "big-format gaming displays" from Nvidia.</p>
<p><img src="http://static3.businessinsider.com/image/5a5388d23225de9a0a8b4d9c-800/bfgd%20kv.jpg" alt="BFGD from NVIDIA" data-mce-source="NVIDIA"></p>
<p>What you see above is merely an example of what the so-called BFGD line of monitors might look like in your home setup. Nvidia's working with several major display makers — including Acer, Asus, and HP — to produce the new line of gigantic screens.</p>
<p>Even if you're using a large, 4K/HDR-capable TV as your gaming monitor, it's unlikely to compare to these 65-inch behemoths — take a look.</p><p><strong>SEE ALSO:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/pc-gaming-big-screen-vs-ultra-wide-monitor-which-is-best-2016-9" >These are the 2 best types of screens for playing PC games — here's which one you should choose</a></strong></p>
<h3>To be clear, at 65 inches, the Nvidia monitors will not fit comfortably on any desk.</h3>
<img src="http://static6.businessinsider.com/image/5a5388d23225de9a0a8b4d9c-400-300/to-be-clear-at-65-inches-the-nvidia-monitors-will-not-fit-comfortably-on-any-desk.jpg" alt="" />
<p><p>A 65-inch screen is <em>huge</em>.</p>
<p>The average computer monitor is under 32 inches. Most TVs aren't even 65 inches.</p>
<p>It's also worth considering how much space a 65-inch display takes up. Your desk most likely isn't prepared for that large of a screen, especially in addition to a PC gaming tower and other stuff, like in the example above.</p>
<p>Another thing to consider: Sitting at a desk to play games means sitting a few feet (at most) from the screen. Imagine sitting a few feet away from a nearly 6-foot display.</p></p>
<br/><br/><h3>More than just big and beautiful, these screens are full of bells and whistles.</h3>
<img src="http://static4.businessinsider.com/image/5a5388d2c32ae68b008b4ef6-400-300/more-than-just-big-and-beautiful-these-screens-are-full-of-bells-and-whistles.jpg" alt="" />
<p><p>4K? Check. HDR? Check. G-sync? Check. A 120-hertz refresh rate? Check!</p>
<p>These BFGDs even have Nvidia's Shield set-top box technology built right in. It's kind of like those Roku-based smart TVs, where the Roku functionality is built directly into the TV.</p>
<p>That's all to say that these aren't just large gaming displays. They're large, sure, but their specs are top of the line. That means games will look incredible &mdash; as long as you have a PC powerful enough to make them look that way, of course.</p></p>
<br/><br/><h3>Having Nvidia Shield tech built in means you have access to stuff like Netflix and Hulu — but also that you can stream PC games directly to your screen.</h3>
<img src="http://static4.businessinsider.com/image/5a5388d23225de04128b4d9f-400-300/having-nvidia-shield-tech-built-in-means-you-have-access-to-stuff-like-netflix-and-hulu--but-also-that-you-can-stream-pc-games-directly-to-your-screen.jpg" alt="" />
<p><p>Instead of putting this massive display in your PC gaming area, why not put it in your living room? That's definitely an option.</p>
<p>With the Nvidia Shield tech, you could stream PC games to the huge display without <em>directly</em> connecting your PC. You'll lose some visual quality by streaming games and add some latency in the process, but games will still look <em>pretty good</em> regardless.</p></p>

<p>The new chip is based on Nvidia's Volta architecture, which is slowly replacing its previous Pascal architecture that is still widely available today. The Titan V is aimed at scientists and researchers in the artificial intelligence field.</p>
<p>The chip is about nine times more powerful than its predecessor, according to Nvidia. The new card illustrates Nvidia's focus on powering the next generation of artificial&nbsp;intelligence and machine learning, as the company is focusing on addressing the needs of researchers before releasing a card for the video gaming market.</p>
<p>'&ldquo;Our vision for Volta was to push the outer limits of high performance computing and AI," Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, said in a news release. "We broke new ground with its new processor architecture, instructions, numerical formats, memory architecture and processor links.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The new cards are available for purchase from Nvidia, but they are being used in data centers for researchers to use via the cloud. Nvidia said it will begin offering access to the new Titan V card on its own computing platform immediately.</p>
<p>The Titan V is not aimed at gamers or cryptocurrency miners, two of Nvidia's largest markets. <a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/currencies/news/bitcoin-amd-nvidia-crypto-boom-is-over-mizuho-says-2017-11-1009813614">Those markets have been supply-constrained</a> as cryptocurrency miners are scooping up cards aimed at video gamers to help speed up their crypto rigs.&nbsp;</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>Through a licensing deal with the chip manufacturer Nvidia, Nintendo is bringing major Wii and GameCube games to Android.</strong></li>
<li><strong>The games are available through only the Nvidia Shield console and will be available "soon."</strong></li>
<li><strong>It's unclear whether the games will be available on Android or iPhone in other parts of the world.</strong></li>
</ul>
<hr>
<p><br>Major entries in the "Super Mario" and "Legend of Zelda" franchises are heading to Android for the first time.</p>
<p>In a surprising move, the Japanese gaming powerhouse Nintendo said it would license major Wii and GameCube games to the chip manufacturer Nvidia. They aren't going to Android smartphones, though, but the Android-powered Nvidia Shield set-top box, and they'll be available only in China.</p>
<p>There will be a handful of Wii games, including "Super Mario Galaxy," "The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess," "New Super Mario Bros.," and "Punch-Out!!" More games are said to be "coming soon."</p>
<p><img src="http://static4.businessinsider.com/image/5a26b20cf914c35a018b7e5b-1303/screen%20shot%202017-12-05%20at%2094923%20am.png" alt="Nvidia Shield (China)" data-mce-source="Nvidia"></p>
<p>The games are download-only, of course — the Nvidia Shield console is similar to a Roku or Apple TV in that it's a small box unable to read physical media. Instead, you download or stream games, media, and music to the box through the internet.</p>
<p>In the case of the Shield, which is already available elsewhere in the world, Nvidia gave it more of a gaming bent. There's an official gamepad, for instance, in addition to the standard remote control. You can also stream games to the console from your PC using Nvidia's software.</p>
<p>When the Shield — which costs about $225 — arrives in China, Wii games will cost about $10. It's unclear how much GameCube games will cost.</p>
<p><img src="http://static3.businessinsider.com/image/5a26b573f914c356018b7f03-1104/nvidiashieldcontroller.jpg" alt="Nvidia Shield (gamepad)" data-mce-source="Nvidia"></p>
<p>The news isn't just a big deal for Nintendo fans in China, but for the company itself.</p>
<p>Game companies have a notoriously fraught relationship with the Chinese market, and the sale or distribution of many consoles in China isn't allowed because of governmental restrictions. (<a href="https://www.engadget.com/2013/01/30/china-console-ban/">It's complicated</a>.) Nintendo has in the past worked around them by partnering with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IQue_Player">a Chinese company named iQue</a>.</p>
<p>Similarly, Nintendo is partnering here with both Nvidia and the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IQiyi">Chinese streaming-video platform iQiyi</a> to release its games in China — a smart move that enables Nintendo to push into one of the <a href="http://www.scmp.com/tech/apps-gaming/article/2099180/china-driving-global-video-games-market-record-us109b-2017">world's largest gaming markets</a>.</p>

<p><strong>GOOGLE'S LATEST DIGITAL HEALTH MOVES: </strong>At this week's Radiological Society of North America&nbsp;(RSNA) conference, Google announced strategic partnerships with a number of IT companies in the healthcare space. The partnerships each leverage the firm's cloud computing platform,&nbsp;Google Cloud, to give medical providers access to improved radiology workflows, lower costs, and advanced imaging analytics with machine learning.&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Change&nbsp;Healthcare</strong>, one of the largest<span>&nbsp;independent&nbsp;</span><span>healthcare</span><span>&nbsp;technology companies in the US&nbsp;</span>has <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/change-healthcare-announces-strategic-relationship-with-google-cloud-300561591.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">formed</a> a partnership with Google Cloud to develop new solutions for the healthcare industry, starting with healthcare imaging. Change will leverage Google Cloud&rsquo;s machine learning technology to uncover actionable insights for healthcare providers. It will also use the firm's cloud G Suite to give providers new solutions that connect care teams regardless of their&nbsp;location.&nbsp;</li>
<li><strong>Nautilus Medical</strong>, the medical imaging software company, is <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/nautilus-medical-collaborates-with-google-cloud-for-secure-radiology-storage-and-image-exchange-300560608.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">releasing</a> an&nbsp;image exchange and patient information storage and distribution system in collaboration with&nbsp;Google Cloud. Nautilus will use Google's cloud services to advance analytic capabilities and increase security on the company's image management platform. The partnership is expected to enable Nautilus to deliver its services to more customers, especially underserved professionals&nbsp;that don't have the budget for more expensive offerings.&nbsp;</li>
<li><strong>Ambra Health,</strong> the medical data and image management cloud company with over 1,000 providers on its network, will offer its Ambra Suite of imaging solutions <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/ambra-health-joins-google-cloud-technology-partner-program-to-enhance-provider-access-and-deep-learning-from-medical-images-300561595.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">through</a> Google Cloud. The collaboration gives healthcare providers the ability to gain better insights from health data, such as medical imaging, through Google's machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies. The firms will also give<span>&nbsp;multi-hospital institutions, radiology centers, and small medical groups the ability to easily access and share medical images and information with physicians and patients.&nbsp;</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span><strong>These partnerships will help strengthen Google's position in a growing and extremely competitive cloud market.</strong> The&nbsp;global&nbsp;cloud healthcare market is&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/PressReleases/cloud-computing-healthcare.asp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&amp;q=http://e.businessinsider.com/click/11365995.0/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubWFya2V0c2FuZG1hcmtldHMuY29tL1ByZXNzUmVsZWFzZXMvY2xvdWQtY29tcHV0aW5nLWhlYWx0aGNhcmUuYXNw/57d844d117893faf778b549fBe8586a80&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1511984991123000&amp;usg=AFQjCNHe7jQy7elloa2_xJzzi2XAHBwIhQ">expected</a><span>&nbsp;to grow at an annualized rate of 21% between 2015 and 2020 to reach $9.5 billion, according to MarketsAndMarkets. In order to capture a significant share of this market, it's likely Google will have to continue aggressively building out its network through partnerships. This is especially&nbsp;true if Google hopes to hold off major competitors &mdash; Amazon&nbsp;<a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/digital-health-briefing-amazon-to-enter-major-healthcare-partnership-apple-watch-aids-in-treating-depression-ibm-watson-shows-its-power-in-cancer-study-2017-11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recently</a> made headlines after announcing a major cloud healthcare partnership with Cerner.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span></span></p>
<p><span><strong>GE PARTNERS WITH NVIDIA FOR MEDICAL IMAGE PROCESSING: </strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">GE Healthcare </span><a href="http://newsroom.gehealthcare.com/ai-tech-from-self-driving-cars-is-now-coming-to-healthcare-rsna/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">announced</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> a new partnership with chipmaker Nvidia to use artificial intelligence (AI) to process medical images and other healthcare data. Nvidia &mdash; which designs graphics chips for computers and has been developing autonomous-car systems &mdash; will provide hardware and AI platforms to interpret medical images that are captured on GE equipment. Hospitals and medical offices create vast quantities of data &mdash; up to 50 million gigabytes every year at the average hospital &mdash; but only 3% of that data gets analyzed or used, according to GE. Much of that data is from imaging such as ultrasounds, MRIs, or CT scans, which need to be analyzed by a radiologist. After collection, the radiologist writes a report on the image, noting what appears normal and abnormal within the scan so that other practitioners who don&rsquo;t specialize in imaging can act on the results of the scan. But now, scans made on GE imaging machinery like the new Revolution Frontier CT will be able to use Nvidia image processing to detect liver and kidney lesions. This will reduce the workload on radiologists, so more of the wealth of data hospitals generate can actually be put to use.</span></span></p>
<p><span><strong>CHINESE DIGITAL HEALTHCARE PLATFORM COULD SEE $1 BILLION IPO IN 2018:</strong> China&rsquo;s leading online healthcare platform, Ping An Good Doctor, is <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/hong-kong-ipo-ping-an-ins/ping-an-good-doctor-readies-1-bln-hong-kong-ipo-ifr-idUSL8N1NX0AB" target="_blank" rel="noopener">working</a> with JPMorgan Chase and Citi Group on an initial public offering (IPO), which could close in 2018 for up to $1 billion, according to Reuters. After launching in 2015, the platform that lets patients consult with doctors and set up appointments has rapidly added over 77 million Chinese users. Good Doctor's growth is likely a reflection of China's interest in digital health services &mdash; for example, Chinese residents were found to be the most likely to use a connected health device, according to an Ipsos study that interviewed over 18,000 individuals in 23 countries. As this interest rises and more people in the region <a href="https://www.techinasia.com/china-731-million-internet-users-end-2016" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gain</a> internet access, China will become an even stronger market for digital health providers &mdash; China's digital health market is expected to <a href="https://www.bcg.com/publications/2015/biopharmaceuticals-medical-devices-technology-chinas-digital-health-care-revolution.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expand</a> from $3 billion in 2014 to $110&nbsp;billion in 2020, according to BCG.</span></p>

<p><span><strong>PHILIPS BUYS STARTUP TO IMPROVE RADIOLOGY MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS: </strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">Technology company Philips has acquired Analytical Informatics, a startup that provides solutions to help manage radiology practices, according to </span><a href="http://hitconsultant.net/2017/11/27/philips-acquires-analytics-informatics/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">HIT Consultant</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Philips has moved heavily to build up its healthcare business, and this latest purchase will help to augment its PerfromanceBridge product portfolio and make it a more competitive choice for radiology departments looking to improve efficiency and enhance practice performance. Analytical Informatics offers advanced workflow management tools that allow physicians to let the software handle and automate the more rote aspects of managing a patient&rsquo;s care. Philips has also added a number of new features to PerformanceBridge, including equipment utilization tracking and analysis, improved data collection tools, and protocol management. The market for medical practice management software is expected increase to nearly $3.2 billion globally by 2021 according to </span><a href="http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20170605005842/en/Global-Medical-Practice-Management-Software-Market--"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Technavio</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></span><span><span style="font-weight: 400;"></span></span></p>
<p><span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>DOCTOLIB RAISES $42 MILLION IN ADDITIONAL FUNDING:</strong> Doctolib, the French online medical <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2017/11/27/doctolib-raises-another-42-million-for-its-medical-care-scheduling-service/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appointment</a> booking start-up, has raised $42 million in funding from&nbsp;Eurazeo&nbsp;and BPI France, according to TechCrunch. This follows an earlier round of funding in January, which makes Doctolib one of the most well-funded health start-ups in Europe. The online booking platform, which was developed for medical providers, counts roughly seven million bookings each month in its home country of France. This latest round of funding is expected to help the firm accelerate&nbsp;its expansion efforts into Germany where the company is seeing early success&nbsp; &mdash; the platform has already managed 1.5 million bookings in Germany. This investment will likely be&nbsp;focused on adding medical providers to the platform, which is the company's sole revenue source &mdash; all of Doctolib's <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/france-tech-doctolib/frances-doctolib-raises-35-mln-euros-to-speed-expansion-in-germany-idUSL8N1NX5DB" target="_blank" rel="noopener">revenue</a> comes from its French physicians who have subscribed to its service for a monthly fee, according to Reuters. And given the platform's positive results in France and early success in Germany, it's possible that Doctolib could have its eyes on even more markets in 2018.&nbsp;</span></span><em><img src="http://static4.businessinsider.com/image/5a0075a94d05acd7028b6ccf-2342/bii global dh startup funding.png" alt="bii global dh startup funding" data-mce-source="BI Intelligence" /></em></p><p><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/digital-health-briefing-googles-latest-digital-health-moves-ge-partners-with-nvidia-digital-health-platform-in-china-could-see-1-billion-ipo-2017-11#comments">Join the conversation about this story &#187;</a></p> http://markets.businessinsider.com/news/Nvidia-is-getting-hit-harder-than-the-rest-of-the-tech-sector-NVDA-1009954216Nvidia is getting hit harder than the rest of the tech sector (NVDA)http://markets.businessinsider.com/news/Nvidia-is-getting-hit-harder-than-the-rest-of-the-tech-sector-NVDA-1009954216

<hr />
<p><br /><a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/stock/nvda-Quote">Shares of Nvidia</a> are down 5.30% to $199.71 on Wednesday, as <a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/stock-market-news-tech-stocks-are-getting-whacked-2017-11-1009942729">the tech sector at large sells off</a>.</p>
<p>The slide on Wednesday continues Nvidia's fall from the previous day, <a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/currencies/news/bitcoin-amd-nvidia-crypto-boom-is-over-mizuho-says-2017-11-1009813614">which came after Mizuho analyst Vijay Rakesh called an end to the crypto boom</a> for Nvidia and other graphics chip makers. Nvidia's graphics cards are often used by cryptocurrency "miners" to try and speed up their systems, and the company has seen increased demand as cryptocurrencies skyrocket in value.</p>
<p>Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have hit several major milestones this week, including bitcoin's crossing of $10,000 per coin for the first time ever on Tuesday.</p>
<p>Nvidia's declines are <a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/stock-market-news-tech-stocks-are-getting-whacked-2017-11-1009942729">more than double many of the larger tech companies</a> that also saw a decline on Wednesday. The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 index was down 1.57%, and the FANG stocks were all down around 3% as investors likely <a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/currencies/news/bitcoin-amd-nvidia-crypto-boom-is-over-mizuho-says-2017-11-1009813614">rolled their&nbsp;tech investments into other areas.</a></p>
<p>Nvidia is up 95.17% this year, despite the recent declines.</p>

<p>Tech is not having a good day. Shares of many of the major tech companies were trading down more than 2% ahead of noon ET on Wednesday.&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/index/nasdaq_100">The tech-heavy Nasdaq-100 was down</a> 2.08% at 6,300.95, off the all-time high set on Tuesday. The FANG stocks, Facebook, Apple, Netflix and Google, saw their biggest intraday drop in 22 months. The decline wiped out more than $60 billion in the combined market caps of the companies, more than any other day since Facebook's initial public offering, according to Bloomberg.</p>
<p>It appears money is rotating out of the names that have seen sizable moves as of late. Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, Facebook and Nvidia are all down more than 2%.</p>
<p>A notable outperformer is Snap, which&nbsp;<a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/snap-stock-redesign-rising-after-introducing-its-biggest-ever-2017-11-1009936076">released its biggest redesign ever for its Snapchat app</a> on Wednesday morning.&nbsp;</p>

<li><strong>Shares of Nvidia have skyrocketed this year, which has left those betting against the company&nbsp;hurting.</strong></li>

<hr />
<p><br /><a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/stock/nvda-Quote">Nvidia</a> has been on a crazy upward burn, gaining 109.69% this year thanks to its strength in artificial intelligence&nbsp;and cryptocurrencies. The meteoric rise has left those bearish on the company in the dust, and on Monday, one of those bears decided enough was enough.</p>
<p>"We have had calls in the past that have not worked out and we are likely going to have calls in the future that may not necessarily work out,"&nbsp;Ambrish Srivastava, an analyst at BMO Capital Markets, said in a note to clients. "We have been reluctant to change our view, but now recognize that our Underperform call did not work out, either."</p>
<p>Srivastava raised his price target from $135 to $200, a 48% increase, and upgraded his rating from a sell to a neutral based on strengths&nbsp;in business areas where Srivastava predicted weakness.</p>
<p>Srivastava said that he had expected Nvidia's gaming business to slow this year. But, a deal to power Nintendo's breakout Switch console has helped the company outperform Srivastava's expectations. Nvidia's&nbsp;GPU business has gotten a boost from cryptocurrency miners this year too. They have been buying up Nvidia graphics cards in great quantities, hoping to speed up their computers and mine currencies like ethereum faster.</p>
<p>In Nvidia's last earnings report, <a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/nvidia-earnings-q3-stock-reaction-2017-11-1007462720">it reported revenue of $2.653 billion</a>. The data center portion of Nvidia's business, which sells chips and software to be used in developing artificial intelligence applications, was one of the best performing, growing 175% year over year. Companies like Amazon and Google have been strong Nvidia customers as they look to improve their data centers' ability to handle&nbsp;a flood of new AI systems.</p>
<p>"Given what is now perceived as a blue-sky opportunity that the company has in front of itself in AI, we see investors continuing to value the stock at a high premium to the [semiconductor] group," Srivastava said.</p>
<p>Nvidia was down 1.08% trading around $213.88 a share on Monday after Srivastava released his note.</p>

<p>Strong demand for the company's graphic processing chips, which are used in gaming and data centers, as well as the accelerating adoption of&nbsp;artificial intelligence (AI)&nbsp;and driverless cars, largely drove growth during the quarter.</p>
<p>The graphics chip designer reported record revenue of $2.6 billion, up 32% year-over-year (YoY) from $2 billion, and up 18% from the $2.2 billion it posted in the previous quarter.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Nvidia&rsquo;s gaming and cloud segments were the primary drivers of the company&rsquo;s solid Q3, and will likely remain areas of high growth for the company&nbsp;as it secures its position as a leader in AI.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Its graphics chips continue to be central to the&nbsp;company's gaming business.&nbsp;</strong>Nvidia&rsquo;s gaming revenue jumped 25% YoY to $1.56 billion, accounting for nearly 60% of total revenue. Nvidia provides the main chip for the Nintendo Switch game console, and its GeForce chips power gaming PCs. Nvidia will likely see even&nbsp;more growth in this segment as adoption of immersive VR gaming technologies take off. That&rsquo;s because VR requires massive processing power that Nvidia&rsquo;s chips can support.</li>
<li><strong>Nvidia&rsquo;s&nbsp;graphics chips have become crucial to the future of cloud computing.&nbsp;</strong>Revenue from Nvidia&rsquo;s data centers business, its second-largest revenue generator, spiked 109% YoY to $501 million, from $240 million. The cloud computing market presents massive revenue potential for Nvidia &mdash; the global market is expected to jump 58% to $411 billion by 2020 from&nbsp;an estimated $260 billion in 2017,<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="http://e.businessinsider.com/click/11228243.1051/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZm9yYmVzLmNvbS9zaXRlcy9sb3Vpc2NvbHVtYnVzLzIwMTcvMTAvMTgvY2xvdWQtY29tcHV0aW5nLW1hcmtldC1wcm9qZWN0ZWQtdG8tcmVhY2gtNDExYi1ieS0yMDIwLyM3YjdiNTYxMDc4ZjI/56378b5356cf60046a8b4ca0B0fa103c9" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&amp;q=http://e.businessinsider.com/click/11228243.1051/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZm9yYmVzLmNvbS9zaXRlcy9sb3Vpc2NvbHVtYnVzLzIwMTcvMTAvMTgvY2xvdWQtY29tcHV0aW5nLW1hcmtldC1wcm9qZWN0ZWQtdG8tcmVhY2gtNDExYi1ieS0yMDIwLyM3YjdiNTYxMDc4ZjI/56378b5356cf60046a8b4ca0B0fa103c9&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1510672744230000&amp;usg=AFQjCNHT2OBqs73yj2Jo7F-6Ri1snacTUA">according</a><span>&nbsp;</span>to Gartner.

<li><strong>Chipmakers are expanding their range of processors.</strong>&nbsp;Intel is pushing further into the space in partnership with AMD; the pair&nbsp;is creating a chip specifically for notebooks that integrates an Intel&nbsp;central processing unit (CPU) and an AMD GPU, and could potentially serve as a threat to Nvidia&rsquo;s core business.</li>

<p>That's right, "PUBG" is still in beta at the time of writing, and it became the most-played game on the Steam gaming platform, beating "Dota 2" for most concurrent gamers playing on Steam for the first time in years. </p>
<p>"PUBG" is soon coming to Xbox One on December 30, leaving PlayStation 4 users in the cold, at least for now. And because "PUBG" is only available on PC, Mac owners are also out of luck... until now. </p>
<p>My colleague Dave Smith recently tried an app called <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/nvidia-geforce-now-app-macbook-pc-games-photos-2017-10">GeForce Now from Nvidia to play "Destiny 2" on a Mac</a>, and he had overly positive remarks about his experience. And it turns out that one of the games you can play on GeForce Now is "PUBG." The rest is history.</p>
<p>Here's how you can play "PUBG" on a Mac, and what it's like:</p><p><strong>SEE ALSO:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/intel-amd-chip-power-laptops-2017-11" >Two of tech's biggest rivals are working together to make powerful laptops thinner than the MacBook Air</a></strong></p>
<h3>Haven't heard of "PUBG?" Here's what it's all about.</h3>
<img src="http://static2.businessinsider.com/image/59d3a133351ccf21008b75cf-400-300/havent-heard-of-pubg-heres-what-its-all-about.jpg" alt="" />
<p><p>If you haven't heard of "PUBG," the most popular game of 2017, it's a battle royale-style game where you and 100 other online players try to survive to become the last person standing. You need to pick up weapons and gear and fight against other players,&nbsp;but there's also a virtual barrier than slowly encouraches on you and the map you're playing in, restricting the playable area until the game concludes. You can choose to be active and shoot your way through the game, or be stealthy and keep the shooting for the very last minute when only a few players are left.&nbsp;</p>
<p>"PUBG" is currently only available to play on PC, and players interested in playing "PUBG" need a PC that's powerful enough to run the game smoothly. It's not a particularly lightweight game.</p>
<p>This is where Nvidia's GeForce Now comes into play. It'll let you play "PUBG" on your Mac if you don't have a PC that's powerful enough to play "PUBG," or an Xbox for when the game is released.&nbsp;</p></p>
<br/><br/><h3>All you have to do is install the GeForce Now app on your Mac, and sign in to your Steam account – or create a Steam account if you don't have one.</h3>
<img src="http://static4.businessinsider.com/image/59f0ea84bcf93d48008b4597-400-300/all-you-have-to-do-is-install-the-geforce-now-app-on-your-mac-and-sign-in-to-your-steam-account--or-create-a-steam-account-if-you-dont-have-one.jpg" alt="" />
<p><p>You can find the link to <a href="https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/geforce-now/mac-pc/">download GeForce Now beta on your Mac here</a>. It's free for now, and creating a Steam account is also free. You'll just have to buy "PUBG," which costs $30.</p></p>
<br/><br/><h3>The GeForce Now app is basically like owning a high-performance gaming PC without actually owning one.</h3>
<img src="http://static4.businessinsider.com/image/5a05f9e835876e8c008b54e2-400-300/the-geforce-now-app-is-basically-like-owning-a-high-performance-gaming-pc-without-actually-owning-one.jpg" alt="" />
<p><p>The way GeForce Now works is that you connect to an Nvidia gaming PC somewhere in "the cloud" &ndash; most often a specialized warehouse full of web servers and computers &ndash; from your own computer. This gaming PC in the cloud runs the game itself, and the visuals for the game are streamed over the internet to your computer screen at home (or at work!), much like a YouTube of Netflix video.&nbsp;</p>
<p>That means you can run available games at their highest graphical settings because your own computer isn't doing any of the work towards running the game. All your computer is doing is streaming the video and relaying your keyboard strokes and mouse movements to the Nvidia gaming PC in the cloud. It'll even work if you have an old, underpowered computer, just as long as it can reliably stream video over the internet.&nbsp;</p></p>

<p><a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/stock/nvda-Quote"><br />Nvidia</a> released its third-quarter earnings after the bell Thursday.</p>
<p>The company reported earnings of $1.33 per share on revenues of $2.64 billion.&nbsp;Wall Street was expecting adjusted earnings of $1.07 per share on revenue of $2.362 billion.&nbsp;Nvidia's stock&nbsp;was up about 1.27% after the earnings result.</p>
<p>The company's revenue beat was fueled by a 175% year over year growth in revenue from its data center business. Strong demand from large-scale customers working on artificial intelligence was the main driver of growth, Nvidia said. It also saw a boost from cryptocurrency-linked demand for its graphics chips, due to skyrocketing prices for cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and ethereum.</p>
<p>The company announced it would be increasing its dividend from $0.14 per share to $0.15 per share, to start in December. Nvidia also announced that it had purchased the land for its new headquarters in Santa Clara, California from Wachovia for about $350 million. It was previously leasing the land.</p>
<p>Analysts on Wall Street&nbsp;were bullish on the stock ahead of the earnings, with 19 of the 36 tracked by Bloomberg rating the company a "buy", and just four rating the company a "sell."</p>

<p>Nvidia has been facing increased competition recently. Intel has historically kept out of Nvidia's main graphics processing unit business but has dramatically changed its attitude in the last week. <a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/amd-intel-nvidia-stock-price-are-teaming-up-to-take-on-nvidia-with-a-new-chip-2017-11-1007060867?utm_source=markets&amp;utm_medium=ingest">Intel announced a partnership with AMD</a> to produce a single-chip CPU and GPU combo.</p>

<li><strong><a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/stock/INTC-Quote">Intel</a> hired away <a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/stock/amd-Quote">AMD's</a> head of graphics for the same role at Intel.</strong></li>
<li><strong>The move was a clear signal from Intel that it's now placing a real emphasis on graphics.</strong></li>
<li><strong>AMD and <a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/stock/nvda-Quote">Nvidia</a>, the current champs of the GPU game, fell after the news.</strong></li>

<p><br />Raja Koduri will be joining <a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/stock/INTC-Quote">Intel</a> as the company's head of the newly formed Core and Visual Computing Group, the position he left at <a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/stock/amd-Quote">AMD</a> to pursue, Intel announced.</p>
<p>The move is a clear signal from Intel that it wants to ramp up its offerings in the high-end GPU space which has been dominated by the likes of AMD and <a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/stock/nvda-Quote">Nvidia</a>. Intel&nbsp;currently bakes some graphics processing into its CPUs, but&nbsp;those processors lack the power needed to run high-end games or artificial intelligence&nbsp;systems.</p>
<p>Shares of AMD fell 4.1% to $11.23 and shares of Nvidia fell 2.5% to $203.94 after the news. Intel also was down after the news, falling 0.94% to $46.26.</p>
<p><span>"We have exciting plans to aggressively expand our computing and graphics capabilities," Murthy Renduchintala, the chief engineering officer at Intel, said in a <a href="http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20171108006622/en/">news release</a>. "With Raja at the helm of our Core and Visual Computing Group, we will add to our portfolio of unmatched capabilities, advance our strategy to lead in computing and graphics, and ultimately be the driving force of the data revolution.&rdquo;</span></p>
<p><span>It's clear that Intel is no longer content with being largely absent in the expanding GPU market. The growing adoption of artificial intelligence systems has led to an explosion in demand for the chips, especially in data centers, where much of the processing takes place. Nvidia and AMD have been the main producers of GPUs for years.</span></p>
<p><span>In addition to standalone GPUs, Intel is also working on expanding its integrated graphics performance. The company recently announced it would be <a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/amd-intel-nvidia-stock-price-are-teaming-up-to-take-on-nvidia-with-a-new-chip-2017-11-1007060867">working with AMD to develop a chip that combines Intel's CPU technology with AMD's GPU tech</a> to power high-performance laptops with a smaller silicon footprint.</span></p>
<p><span>Koduri previously worked for Apple to introduce its Retina displays and will start at Intel in December.</span></p>

<hr />
<p><br /><a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/stock/nvda-Quote">Nvidia</a> is set to report its third-quarter earnings after the bell on Thursday, and millennial investors are flocking to the stock in anticipation.</p>
<p>Users of the stock trading app <a href="http://www.robinhood.com">Robinhood</a>, which is popular with millennials, have been buying shares of Nvidia 30% more often then they have been selling them, according to Arpan Shah, a data engineer at Robinhood. Ahead of last quarter, users were buying&nbsp;equally as often as they were selling.</p>
<p>"Investors are a lot more bullish this time," Shah said.</p>
<p>In California, where Silicon Valley and a lot of Nvidia's biggest data center customers are located, the ratio of buying to selling is even higher. Users are increasing their positions 60% more than they are decreasing them, Shah said. In the rest of the US, excluding California, traders are only buying 20% more than they are selling.</p>
<p>Nvidia is one of the more popular stocks on Robinhood, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/millennial-investors-top-15-stocks-on-robinhood-2017-6/?utm_source=markets&amp;utm_medium=ingest#amazon-1">ranking number 10 in terms of users who have a position in the company</a>. AMD, one of Nvidia's biggest competitors, is the second most-held stock on Robinhood.</p>
<p>AMD reported earnings last month and beat Wall Street's estimates for both revenue and earnings. <a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/amd-earnings-stock-price-q3-results-2017-10-1005485288">The company lowered its guidance for the following quarter, though</a>, and the stock tanked after the report. Robinhood users were buying the stock 20% more than they were selling ahead of AMD's earnings.</p>
<p>Wall Street is expecting Nvidia to report adjusted earnings of $1.07 per share, on revenue of $2.362 billion. Analysts on Wall Street are mostly bullish ahead of the company's report. 19 of the 36 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg rate the company a "buy", while just four rate the company a "sell".</p>
<p>Nvidia has risen 99.09% this year.</p>

<p><a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/stock/INTC-Quote">Intel</a> and <a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/stock/AMD-Quote">AMD</a> shares are rising after the two companies announced a plan to take on <a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/stock/NVDA-Quote">Nvidia</a>, the largest maker of graphics chips.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Intel is up 0.55% and AMD is&nbsp;higher by 7.01% ahead of Monday's opening bell. Meanwhile, Nvidia&nbsp;is slipping on the news, down 1.31%&nbsp;at&nbsp;$205.95.</p>
<p>Intel is set to announce a partnership with AMD to produce a processor that would combine an Intel&nbsp;central processing unit (CPU)&nbsp;with an AMD graphics processing unit (GPU), <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/rivals-intel-and-amd-team-up-on-pc-chips-to-battle-nvidia-1509966064">according to the Wall Street Journal</a>. The chips would be intended to be for use in laptops&nbsp;and capable of handling high-end video gaming.</p>
<p>The partnership between Intel and AMD hopes to steal some of Nvidia share of the GPU market with a single integrated chip.</p>
<p>Today's top video games often require a traditional CPU to be augmented with the graphics power of a GPU. Intel has been the leader in CPUs, while Nvidia has commanded a large portion of the GPU market. AMD makes both GPUs and CPUs and <a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/amd-stock-price-is-on-track-for-four-straight-days-of-gains-2017-9-1002303026">recently released a new line of both</a> that hopes to compete with Intel and Nvidia.</p>
